Grouping
1 – By Element: Group results by elements.

3 – Day: The results will be grouped by day, generating an outcome within the selected range for each day.
4 – Weekly: If enabled, the results will be grouped by week. It requires choosing the day to start, and the results consider the whole week. For example, selecting the first weekday as Sunday will use data until the last selected Sunday.
5 – Weekly ROP/AVG: If enabled, the results will be grouped by week, considering the ROP average.
6 – Monthly: If enabled, the results are grouped by month relative to the month selected.
Mode
1 – Track re-homed: If enabled, it will use data from the previous host controller to generate a chart/report.
2 – Custom Busy Hour (BH): If enabled, it requires choosing a KPI and an element for the Custom Busy Hour calculations. The results will consider the maximum value of the selected KPI for the selected element. For example, the BH will be the greatest value of the KPI ACC_RAB_HSDPA for the RNC-ULA-N element in the image below.
NOTE: The Custom Busy Hour only works together with HOUR/ROP aggregation time.
